Skip exposes LeBron for faking an injury in order to avoid taking accountability for playoff upset against the Minnesota Timberwolves! He then reveals the truth that coaches, Bill Belichick & Gregg Popovich, are not as GREAT as people believe them to be. They simply just.. ride on the coattails of ALL TIME GREATS, Tom Brady & Tim Duncan. This week, Skip also explains why it's better to be a Cowboys fan than a Knicks fan and why the Lakers and Laker Nation may already want to move on from Luka. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat reporter Bennett Durando is joined by editor Matt Schubert to discuss the team's media day as well as the first couple days of training camp in San Diego. Among the topics discussed: + Is Jamal Murray making the right call betting on himself to make All-NBA team instead of signing an extension? + There was a flurry of trade activity just before the start of training camp. Who rules the NBA power rankings after big moves from Phoenix, Milwaukee and Boston, among others? + Beef? What beef? Can the Los Angeles Lakers spoil the Nuggets' banner ceremony ahead of their season-opening game at Ball Arena in Denver? The boys discuss what was said by whom leading to the pseudo-beef that has Laker Nation heated. + What is the most likely outcome of the point guard position after the departure of Bruce Brown to Indiana? Reggie Jackson hopes his first full season on the roster is his time to shine and an opportunity to prove why so many in Los Angeles Clippers land came to expect huge bailouts on clutch shots from the NBA veteran. + Is Christian Braun's newly minted beard the secret to a back-to-back title run through downtown Denver? How about Michael Porter Jr's new ink? That's gotta help.

#Lakers Win vs The #Nets 116-103, Anthony Davis Drop 37 Pts Lakers take care of business beating Brooklyn to snap losing streak. Lakers snap a five-game losing streak by beating Brooklyn at home thank to Anthony Davis' 37 point performance. With LeBron James out, the Lakers opted to add Austin Reaves to the starting lineup. He had a great game scoring 19 points against Sacramento on Friday, and Los Angeles was hoping he could help spark a struggling offense. He ended the night with 15. The Lakers took charge in the first quarter largely thanks to Patrick Beverly's defensive efforts and Lonnie Walker IV's offensive efficiency. Pat Bev has been a thorn in Laker Nation's side with his lack of offensive production and while Sunday didn't see an uptick in points (he had 2 total), he was better facilitating the ball with five assists and was a defensive irritant deflecting passes and grabbing four defensive rebounds. Lonnie Walker started perfect from the floor with 11 points going 3-3 from the field, 2-2 from three, and 3-3 from the free throw line.

Trevor Lane joined Zach to discuss what moves the Lakers can make this offseason and if either Anthony Davis or Russell Westbrook will be traded. 

It's been a minute since I did a pod, but I needed to vent about how this season for the Lakers was such a letdown and where things started to go wrong.

At certain points I've it's not even worth it to hate on the Lakers this season…Then I remember what exactly this team is and who they were constructed to be.Timing and Situation are everything in the NBA. Russell Westbrook may be the worst possible fit next to a brilliant ball dominate LBJ in year..19! …..BUT I think our luck may be turning Laker Nation..Support the show (https://www.bigbucketspod.com)

Barton and Luke sit down to discuss how Luke learned to be a key asset to the Los Angeles Lakers during his nine years wearing the purple and gold. Before he retired, Luke was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers where he made his mark being a positive force on and off the court for their franchise.   Luke also recounts how his dad's two years with the Boston Celtics (85-87) helped shape his understanding of winning basketball.  Early Life: The son of Susie Walton (Guth) and former UCLA star and NBA Hall-of-Famer Bill Walton, Luke  was born in San Diego, California. He was named after his father's close friend and former teammate Maurice Lucas.  He has three brothers: Adam, Nathan, and Chris. Walton attended Univ. of San Diego High School,  graduating in 1998.College Career:Luke Walton played basketball at the Univ. of Arizona under coach Lute Olsen.  His best year statistically was as a junior, when he averaged 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.  He played all four years and graduated with a degree in family studies and human development.  He was selected as a 2nd team all-American his senior year.  Los Angeles Lakers (2003–2012)Walton was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2003 NBA Draft with the second pick of the second round (32nd overall). Walton was a favorite of Lakers fans during his nine-year stint as a selfless, hard-working reserve player.In 2006-07,  Walton had his best year in the NBA. He scored a career-high 25 points against th Atlanta Hawks on December 8, 2006. For the season he posted career-high per-game averages in minutes, field goal percentage, steals, blocks, rebounds, assists and points as the Lakers starting small forward. Following the season, on July 12, 2007, Walton was signed by the Lakers to a 6-year, $30 million contract.Golden State Warriors (2014–2016) In 2014, Walton became an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors with Steve Kerr.  Said Walton, "We are gonna run parts of the triangle offense, and I know that thing front and back." The Warriors won the 2015 NBA Finals after they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games to give Walton his third NBA championship and first as an assistant coach.During  training camp in October 2015, Walton was appointed as the Warriors interim head coach when Steve Kerr took an indefinite leave of absence to rehabilitate his back that had been bothering him after the NBA Finals.  Walton made his coaching debut in the season opener on October 27 in a 111–95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Three games later, he presided over the third-largest margin of victory in franchise history when the Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 119–69, which was also the largest margin in the league since 1991. The Warriors set a new NBA record by winning their first four games by a total margin of 100 points.  With a win over the Lakers on November 24, he guided the Warriors to a 16th consecutive victory to start the season, a new NBA record.Walton was named the NBA Western Conference Coach of the Month for games played in October and November, after guiding Golden State to a 19–0 start.  In 2016, Luke became the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and would go on to coach LeBron James  in 2018-2019).  Luke Currently lives with his family in Sacramento, California.

AD goes down, while Ariza returns, capping off a wild week in Laker Nation. Luke "Coach" Walton and Jonathan "Analyst" Gillie talk about how the best big man in the game... LeBron James (lol) can plug the hole at center. Can the Lakers at least tread water in the standings until Anthony Davis returns?

Lebron James is your newest Western Conference Player of the w]Week. Ricky, Kwame, and Omar discuss The King's run since returning to the Lakers lineup. After the break the trio focus their attention on one Anthony Davis, and the realization Laker Nation might need to come to regarding their franchise big.

The Lakers are coming off three days rest to host their archrival, the Boston Celtics, tonight at Staples Center. Yesterday at practice, LeBron James took a question about head coach Frank Vogel and his answer was... interesting. LeBron didn't necessarily give Vogel an endorsement. Does this mean Vogel is in the hot seat? Who deserves most of the blame for the Lakers' 12-12 record so far? Travis and Sliwa open the phone lines to hear Laker Nation express their thoughts. And to close off the hour, it's "Hey Did You See?" with producer Zack! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

5-3 is 5-3, and while all of Laker Nation would have signed up for that start to the season, it hasn't been easy, and it certainly hasn't been pretty. Ethan and JC are back to talk about the uneven back-to-back set vs. the Rockets, the incredible lack of defense that still seems to be completely missing, and how critical this current stretch is for the Lakers in the comfort of their own home. The Good: Russell Westbrook & LeBron James are finding their groove together. The offense is clearly not the issue.The Bad: Anthony Davis is playing phenomenal defense—which is a great thing—but he can't do it alone, and the Lakers need help on the wing that they simply don't have on the roster right now. The Ugly: Well, it's all been pretty ugly as the Lakers try to figure out how this club can come together with so many moving parts and such limited practice time.

It's Game 3 between the Lakers and Suns, as the first round series moves to L.A.. Staples Center will be hosting a playoff game for the first time since 2013, with 7,500 fans expected in attendance! Will they, however, be fully confident in Anthony Davis, who's coming off a monster Game 2, but struggled in Game 1 and doesn't seem yet to have completely convinced Laker Nation of his greatness. In the meantime, what effect will this many fans in the building have on the Lakers, particularly the role players? Could a charged atmosphere actually help goose a stagnant offense? And Wednesday was the 19th anniversary of Robert Horry's iconic game-winning shot against the Sacramento Kings in the 2002 Western Conference Finals. Where were you when (Great Moment X In Lakers History) happened?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Anthony Davis is seen by many as a top-5 player, was unstoppable for most of the 2020 playoffs and, at his best, is a wrecking machine on both sides of the ball. Yet he doesn't get the automatic benefit of the doubt other superstars receive after one bad performance. The Kamenetzkys discuss the possible reasons.SEGMENT 2: At long last, fans inside Staples Center for a Lakers playoff game! How will this affect the action on the court. And seriously, you have no idea how long it's been since the Lakers have consistently kicked ass at home during a postseason run.SEGMENT 3: The Kamenetzkys relive their memories of Big Shot Bob's (biggest?) shot, and other great moments in Laker playoff history.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Lakers head back to L.A. split 1-1 against the Phoenix Suns following a 109-102 win in Game 2. After a listless series-opening loss, the Lakers looked much more like a team gunning to make some noise in the playoffs. In particular, three players under the microscope -- Anthony Davis, Dennis Schröder and Andre Drummond -- came up huge, and combined with strong defense and timely fourth quarter shots was enough to secure the victory. Frank Vogel changed the center rotation, playing Marc Gasol over Montrezl Harrell, and the decision paid off. The night wasn't perfect and there are still areas of concern, but it was nonetheless reassuring for the defending champs.Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: From the opening tip to the final buzzer, the Lakers played with far more energy, intensity and purpose than in Game 1. The difference was most evident defensively, always the backbone of this team at its best. In the meantime, Davis made good on his promise to rebound from his invisible Game 1 and put forth a monster performance.SEGMENT 2: Drummond and Schröder have, for various reasons, been lightning rods for criticism among fans. On Tuesday night, however, their presences were critical towards the win. For at least 48 hours, Laker Nation will be off their backs.SEGMENT 3: Despite the victory, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. LeBron James is clearly still hampered by a troublesome ankle. Nobody but LeBron can consistently make a three-point shot. And Devin Booker and especially Deandre Ayton remain quite difficult to slow down.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
